"KOMATSU no Mori," adjacent to Komatsu Station in Ishikawa Prefecture. When passing through the station, one is captivated by the massive body of the Komatsu construction machine "930E," the only one in Japan.
In fact, similar to the neighboring "Science Hills Komatsu," our company's large gates have also been adopted here. The adjacent Hokuriku Shinkansen is being extended to Tsuruga Station, and Komatsu Station is currently undergoing renovations. Next to the station, "Komatsu no Mori" features a delightful plaza primarily for children, which includes areas such as the "Komatsu Mini Excavator Experience Zone," "Kabuto Mushi Hall (Ogawa Zone: where insects and birds can be observed)," "Mushroom Forest (a space for observing trees and flowers found in satoyama)," and "Rice Fields and Farms (a space for rice planting, harvesting, and vegetable picking)," all filled with nature. Alongside, there are facilities that showcase the history of Komatsu Ltd. and the company's training center. It is a very bright and open "urban facility around the station" for the citizens. In fact, five of our Hashimoto-style gates have been installed at this facility and the training center. One gate is not operational due to the construction of the new Shinkansen station at JR Komatsu Station, but the three gates at the main entrance are opened and closed daily.
